This Father's Day Weekend (don't forget to check out my post for all the fun stuff happening on Staten Island) hop on the FREE Staten Island Ferry and head over to South Street Seaport tomorrow beginning at 12 pm for a FREE festive and patriotic day filled with fun.

A little background...Children's Day began after the first World Trade Center attack in 1993 as a way to get families to spend time downtown again and after September 11, the event moved to the Seaport and is now a full-fledged party till you fall asleep event (you'll probably catch a little of toddlers getting their zzz's in their strollers!)

This year's host is the beloved character Gordon from "Sesame Street," and the day's events will feature around a dozen Broadway performers--including one from "Wicked", sing-a-longs with real-life-sized characters including Barney, a lively concert from the Brooklyn Philharmonic followed by an awesome display of fireworks!! And of course--tons of crafty hands on- activities for kiddies like: make your own Pirate Hat! located right on Pier 16, in front of the Peking, Storytelling and giving big bear hugs to celebrity characters like Dora, Curious George and too many more to mention!
